Assistant to the Sevier County Mayor, Perrin Anderson denounced homophobic comments made at a commission meeting Monday evening.
"The statements made by Commissioner Hurst at the Sevier County Commission meeting of October 21, 2019, do not reflect the opinion or position of Sevier County administration," Anderson said. "Sevier County is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or status in any other group protected by law."
Commissioner Warren Hurst took the floor on Oct. 21 to speak about the commission's pending vote on becoming a gun sanctuary city.
"It's time we wake up people, it's time, it's passed time," Hurst said.
Hurst also voiced his opinions on other topics.
"We got a queer running for president, if that ain't about as ugly as you can get," he said. "Look what we got running for president in the Democratic party. We can go over here to Hoss's jail [Sevier County Sheriff] and get better people out of there than those running for democratic to be President of the United States."
WVLT News was at the meeting and observed as one woman stood up and replied to Hurst, "Excuse me" she said. "This is not professional. This is [expletive]."
The woman left the meeting, and Hurst made another comment about the state of white male rights in the country.
"I'm not prejudiced, a white male in this country has very few rights and they're getting took more every day," said Hurst.

Until 1972, the American Medical Association labeled homosexuality as a mental illness.
It should still be labeled such.
TRUTH!
"I'm not prejudiced, a white male in this country has very few rights and they're getting took more every day," said Hurst.
Well, THAT goes without saying.
DANG!
Yes. His comment was, at worst, homomisic.
I heard that homosexuality was removed from the DSM as a mental illness due to threats of violence (as told by Dr. Laura Schlessinger).
